Рrospects for the search and use of aromatic plants and their essential oils

   Currently, wild essential oil plants are of significant interest for their study as sources for obtaining individual components (substances of the class of terpenes and phenols, biologically active compounds such as thymol, carvacrol, menthol, linalool, etc.) and subsequent introduction and plantation cultivation. The search must be carried out among wild species of such families as Lamiaceae = Labiatae, Asteraceae = Compositae, Apiaceae = Umbelliferae, Rutaceae, Lauraceae, Alliaceae, Asphodeliaceae. Enrichment of the modern assortment with wild and cultivated essential oil plants for the purpose of creating a domestic raw material base is currently relevant. To successfully introduce new species into culture, it is important to initially study the specific biology of the species (ontogenesis, anecology, raw material and seed productivity, composition of essential oil components). Ways are proposed to study the identified new and promising species, develop agricultural techniques for their cultivation and create industrial plantations. The possibilities of using essential oil plants and essential oils for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases, including viral and fungal ones, for the sanitation of premises and the fight against nosocomial infections, as well as for the comprehensive protection of plants from various pests and diseases are being considered.
